init() V4

Initialises the initial values of all the elements of a timeline.

Animations with specific initial values added to a timeline are not automatically set to their from state like a normal call to animate() would, instead, they are initialised when the timeline playhead reaches the element in the timeline.

This is where .init() comes in handy, it forces a render of all the children initial state and updates their values.

Returns

The timeline itself

Can be chained with other timeline methods.

init() code example

import { createTimeline } from 'animejs';

const tl = createTimeline()
.add('.square',   { x: { from: '15rem' } })
.add('.triangle', { x: { from: '15rem' } }, 500)
.add('.circle',   { x: { from: '15rem' } }, 1000)
.init();

<div class="large row">
  <div class="medium pyramid">
    <div class="triangle"></div>
    <div class="square"></div>
    <div class="circle"></div>
  </div>
</div>
